Mr. Shoup was my favorite teacher at Madison Junior High. I tried to take as many classes as I could from him. In 9th grade (1977-78) my dad joined the faculty at Madison and he and Mr. Shoup became friends which made me happy. I ran into him a few times when I got older but never saw him again after I moved to California more than 30 years ago. By the way my dad Daniel died this past August at 86. Rest in Peace Mr. Shoup

I was a student teacher in the fall of 1975 and was fortunate to work with your father. He was a gifted teacher to his students at Madison Middle School and great teacher to train under. He was very knowledgeable about history and made it come alive to the class. I could listen to his presentations all day! The most important lesson I remember he taught me was to be present in the classroom and leave any personal issues at home. It was great advice and has served me well.
I am very sorry for your loss.

For Scott and Leslie, Kathy and Kari,
Thinking of you all and wishing you peace, hope and comfort.
You are all still in my heart.
My favorite poem by Emily Dickinson:
"This world is not a conclusion,
A sequel stands beyond.
Invisible as music,
but positive as sound."
There must be a grand reunion with Luella, Lorene and Chuck,
Elizabeth and Kenny and Michael. (and many more).
He will be missed here.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Shoup was one of my favorite teachers at Madison. He really had a way of connecting with kids at their most difficult!

I'm sorry for your loss. I had Mr. Shoup for global geography my freshman year of high school many years ago and I remember his no nonsense classroom management and high expectations. He was the type of teacher who demanded a lot and expected students to rise to the challenge. We did our best, out of respect and because he made learning interesting. I feel lucky to have been one of his students.
